Happy Valentine’s Day! Our final crew of #LoveYourCrews week is one of our recycling crews. They empty your black recycling bin and are on the lookout for things that can’t go in it. You can make their lives easier by knowing what can go in your bins (www.easthants.gov.uk/your-bins)

Today we're featuring one of our glass crews. Each loader picks up around 3,500 glass boxes each week, that’s why your glass box should weigh less than 5.5kg. The total weight they lift if all those boxes are full would be over 19 tonnes. #LoveYourCrews

Some homes are hard to get to with a normal bin lorry, so we have special hard-to-reach rounds. These are served by smaller bin lorries and even a 4x4 vehicle to tackle those really tough roads. Here is one of our hard-to-reach collection crews. #LoveYourCrews

Our street cleaning and grounds maintenance teams do things like sweeping leaves, cutting verges, emptying litter bins and clearing up litter in our towns and villages. Here they are - coming to a street near you! #LoveYourCrews

It’s #LoveYourCrews week and today we're featuring one of our refuse crews. Our refuse crews collect around 23,700 tonnes of refuse in a year and the loaders pull every wheelie bin to the back of the lorry to be tipped. It’s heavy work and these crews do it year round rain or shine. #LoveYourCrews

Next week we’ll be shining a light on the crews that make East Hampshire a cleaner place, emptying your bins and cleaning our streets. They often leave the depot before 6am and battle through storms, heavy rain and sometimes even snow to provide a great service to residents. #LoveYourCrews
